The group shot comes nearly two weeks after the former Wild Things actress announced she was joining the beloved series. “I am so excited to join the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as I am a huge fan of the show,” Richards said in a statement to Us Weekly on August 9. “I am looking forward to spending time with all the ladies.” She later remarked on Twitter that she was “thrilled to be part of this wild journey.” Richards will be joining Lisa Vanderpump, Kyle Richards, Rinna, Erika Girardi and Teddi Mellencamp for the ninth season, which is expected to premiere later this year.

While fans have taken to social media to express how excited they are to see the former Denise Richards: It’s Complicated star on the franchise, there may be one new viewer turning in: Charlie Sheen! The Two and a Half Men alum told Us Weekly on Saturday, August 18, “Good for her. I hope she has fun, I hope it’s a smash. I don’t watch the show, but I guess I will be tuning in.” Sheen and Richards — who were married from 2002 to 2006 — share daughters Sam, 14, and Lola, 13. The Starship Troopers actress adopted a third daughter named Eloise, now 7, in 2011.
